we need to get that skype thing some time.. we talked about it with George and Jim... haven't heard much since then... I wanted to discuss the efforts industry is taking to prolong life or alter the original design of the facility for the purposes of saving money.. all that stuff in my mind.. puts one outside the original design basis

the photo's you linked me definately show areas of concern for BWR's,, one thing is .. they cut costs by building the vessel out of carbon steel then have a stinless steel liner,, which introduces all kinds of stress questions... and, in most cases.. remember,, every component in the vessel has a "fluence limit" ie: how long can it operate until it reaches a limit from stress, fatigue, corrosion etc. the longer the plant goes.. they keep updating the life time projection with more analysis and paperwork ,, ,but in fact... in my opinion the components should be replaced instead of bandaid fix's.. which result in running with known cracks like in the shroud

unfortunately .. it's big money.. I still wish all reactors were non profit

another thing.. it's hard to find a vendor with an N-STAMP to fabricated nuclear components anymore.. they they have to do a commercial grade acceptance on material
